Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. Assyria is described as an instrument used by God to punish, yet its pride will also be judged. The Assyrian king attributes his conquests to his own strength and wisdom, ignoring that Yahweh used him as an instrument. The passage develops a fundamental paradox of divine sovereignty: God can employ an ungodly power without approving its arrogance.

Wenn aber der HERR all sein Werk ausgerichtet hat auf dem Berge Zion und zu Jerusalem, will ich heimsuchen die Frucht des Hochmuts des Königs von Assyrien und die Pracht seiner Hoffärtigen Augen,
Mas acontecerá que después que el Señor hubiere acabado toda su obra en el monte de Sion, y en Jerusalem, visitaré sobre el fruto de la soberbia del corazón del rey de Asiria, y sobre la gloria de la altivez de sus ojos.
Cuando el Señor haya terminado toda su obra en el monte Sión y en Jerusalén, castigaré el fruto del corazón arrogante del rey de Asiria y la ostentación de su mirada altiva».
Mais, quand le Seigneur aura accompli toute son oeuvre Sur la montagne de Sion et à Jérusalem, Je punirai le roi d'Assyrie pour le fruit de son coeur orgueilleux, Et pour l'arrogance de ses regards hautains.
Egli avverrà dunque, quando il Signore avrà compiuta tutta l’opera sua nel monte di Sion, ed in Gerusalemme, che io farò, dice egli, la punizione del frutto della grandigia del cuore del re degli Assiri, e della gloria dell’alterezza degli occhi suoi.
Por isso acontecerá que, havendo o Senhor acabado toda a sua obra no monte Sião e em Jerusalém, então castigarei o fruto da arrogante grandeza do coração do rei da Assíria e a pompa da altivez dos seus olhos.
主在 錫安山 和 耶路撒冷 成就他一切工作的時候,說:「我必懲罰 亞述 王自大的心和他高傲尊貴的眼目。」
